Title: Improvements in Instruments for Determining the Drop of Potential in Electric Transmission Systems
Filed: 1904-07-14
Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 15,701. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. July 14, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Current meters.- The fall of electric pressure on a length of conductors, supplying alternating current, is measured by use of a wattmeter with an inducta n c e or condenser. For conductors having capacity, the pressure coil S' of the watt-meter is supplied with a definite pressure from them ; the current coil S<2> carries a proportion of the main current, and is in series with an inductance l<1> such that the time-constant of the current circuit of the watt-meter is equal to that of the line. When capacity does not predominate in the conductors, the time-constants of the line and the pressure circuit of the watt-meter are equalized by putting a condenser in place of the inductance l<1>, or by letting the current coil S<2> carry the whole main current and putting an inductance in series with the pressure coil S. The meter reading is to be divided by the pressure applied to the meter, and multiplied by the impedance of the line. The latter arrangement is applicable to a balanced starconnected three-phase system, the coil S<2> being connected in one conductor, and the pressure coil S' being connected in series with an inductance between this conductor and the neutral point.

Abstract: 16,316. Hantke, G. July 23. Direct gas-pressure apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for raising liquids by compressed air, andconsists in introducing a high-pressure air reservoir between the air pump and working chamber, so that the presaure in the latter can be maintained constant by means of a reducing-valve placed between it and the air reservoir. A form of apparatus adapted for continuous working is shown in Fig. 5, in which air passes from the compressor 7 into one or both of the air reservoirs 6, 6<a>, and thence through the reducing-valve 10 to one or both of the working chambers 1, 1<a> containing the liquid to be raised. The liquid is introduced into the chambers by means of a pump 2 and is forced out again through the pipes 4, while any solid matters which may settle in the chambers are forced out through the pipes 19. Cocks are placed in all the pipes, so that any of the chambers can be thrown out of action when desired. A float or other indicator is employed in the working chambers in order to indicate the level of the liquid. In a simpler form of apparatus, single air reservoirs and working chambers are employed, while, in another form, one working chamber is used with two air reservoirs.

Granted: 1905-11-10
Abstract: 24,367. Akt. - Ges. fur Schreibmaschinen-Industrie. March 8, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Type-writers.-In a line-spacing mechanism for type-writers, a device for releasing the locking- pawl is positively connected with the operating- lever so that the locking and actuating pawls are brought in and out of operation together. The position of the operating-lever also shows whether the locking-pawl is released or not. On the shaft a of the paper roller is mounted a ratchet-wheel d which is engaged by a driving-pawl e attached to a lever g and also by a roller f carried by a locking-pawl l. To release the pawls, the lever g is moved back against a stop q so that the pawl e is lifted by a finger p. At the same time, a spring i coiled around the hub of the lever g overcomes a spring h which holds the locking-pawl l in action. The pawl is thereby lifted, and a nose n on the pawl is moved clear of a nose o on the hub of the lever g, so that the latter may be further rotated. When the pawls are disengaged, the paper roller may be rotated by means of a knob. For spacing, the lever g is moved from the position shown in Fig. 2 up to an adjustable stop t. The device may be adapted for spacing-mechanisms in which the operating-lever acts in the axial direction of the paper roller or with other spacing-mechanisms. The locking-mechanism may consist of braking- devices or other means. The operating-lever may act on the locking-device through push and pull parts, pinions, or the like.

Abstract: 1905. Niehus, W., and Niehus, E. Jan. 25. Chimes ; striking-mechanism.-In chiming and striking clocks, the chime train is actuated by the time train and automatically winds a secondary hour-striking train. The wheel q, Fig. 2, of the chime train, actuated by a spring on the drum p, gears with a wheel a on an arbor b. A pin i on a nut c on the arbor b carries one end of a spring s, the other end of which is attached so as to give a slip action inside a drum d loosely centred on the arbor b. The drum d has a wheel e driving a pinion h on the arbor of the secondary hourstriking train carrying the hammer-lifting wheels j. When the clock is chiming, the wheel a is rotated, winding up the spring s which, when the chimes are stopped, causes the wheels j to effect the striking of the quarter, half, or full hours. In applying the invention to existing clocks, the ordinary striking- train is first converted into a chime train and the secondary automatic hour-striking train is then added.
